[12/*] I'm not sure if that makes me more or less depressed. It's a depressing thought, but maybe also one that is slightly motivating: it means we can always make a new - albeit shortly lived - place free from the demands of social conformity.

[13/*] We just make a new medium for communication, and for a brief time, before it becomes popular, people will be able to be themselves there. The depressing part is, of course, that it will only last for a short while.

Well, you kinda have such internet. 4chan and darknet are mostly unmoderated, and, well, there is a lot of illegal, unethical or just gross stuff. And it's clear, why people want this stuff to be removed.

If it's illegal, it's a matter for the FBI. If it's "unethical" - well, who decided that? You? And if it's "just gross", then, don't look at it? Why would it matter if someone else is posting gross stuff on a Twitter feed? Just don't subscribe to that feed?

Well then why are you telling me this in highly moderated twitter, and not in anarchy-like 4chan (or other service)? BTW I'm not telling, that I agree with twitter decisions, but I'm just curious, why are you still using it

Because you are not on 4chan. That's the point. That was the entire point of my thread, if you read it? Once you get to the point where you can communicate with the majority of people, that platform will become regulated.

It can either be regulated by the platform itself, or the government will step in and do it, etc. But the only way to have actual free speech, AFAICT, is to not have anyone listening.

Another way to say this is, we could all move to 4chan right now and start talking to each other there. But if we did, I guarantee you it would become heavily moderated within a few years, by force if necessary.

It's not that 4chan is unmoderated so people don't go there. It's that people don't go there, so 4chan is unmoderated. It works the other way around.

Don't you think, that a lot of people actually want moderation? They don't want to see hardcore injures and people hating each other, so they stay here. Don't you think, that people use twitter _because_ it's moderated? Again, I'm just asking, not saying that this is the truth

I don't think anyone uses Twitter because it is _centrally_ moderated. I think plenty of people would love a Twitter where they could choose their moderator. And in fact, I suspect they would have dramatically _more_ users if users could choose their moderator.

I think you're conflating a _choice_ of moderation with _mandatory_ moderation. They are not related.

In fact, I would argue it is undeniable that Twitter has _lost_ many users because they disagree with the moderation choices, something that would not have happened if they could have just chosen unmoderated or different moderation.
